As you know, I work with Goodnites to help inform parents and answer their questions about bedwetting. Once upon a time, I dealt with bedwetting and the problems associated with it. At that time I didn't have all the facts and made some poor decisions in regards to bedwetting which is why I'm now so passionate about helping parents to understand bedwetting and to cope with it.

Goodnites now has a great alternative to disposable underwear! Goodnites disposable bed mats! These amazingly absorbant pads can be placed on your child's bed by peeling off the adhesive backing and sticking it to the sheet. It'll stay put all night without getting scrunched up. And it provides all the protection you've come to trust from Goodnites disposable underwear without the stigma of "wearing a diaper" that some kids resent. Occasionally I have a parent write to me that their child is such a heavy wetter that they saturate the Goodnite underwear. This bed mat in combination with the disposable underwear would save a lot of laundry and interrupted sleep for those individuals, ensuring your child does indeed have a good night. I have three packages of Goodnites new bed mats to give away! Read on for details!

Here's a little demonstration I did using a small square sample of the Goodnites bed mat and a whole lotta water!

Peel the adhesive backing off the bed mat and press in place.

Voila!

"Night, Mom!"

I put TEN droppers full of water on the mat! I colored the water blue so I could see if it leaked through to the bed.

Super absorbant!

I easily peeled the mat off the bed. Boy was it FULL!

There wasn't a single drop of moisture on the bed!

"Yay! I slept all through the night! Thanks, Mom!"

I have three packs of new Goodnites Bed Mats to give away to three readers! Just leave me a comment here and I'll choose three random winners on Friday, March 30. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor!For more information on bedwetting, please visit Goodnites.com for a wealth of articles on all things bedwetting!

Okay, I'm willing to try them if they're free. My 6-year old leaks through her pullups a few time a week. She rarely wakes up to go during the night. The boys on my husband's side of the family have this problem until puberty!

I had no idea there was such a thing as Goodnites Bed Mats! I could have used these so many times. These are a must-have for my house as my cute little buddy is still having accidents at age 9. I usually put him in my bed after he wets the bed. If I don't get his sheets and blankets washed and dried in the next day I end up with a wet bed too. This would save me so much time, water, electricity and most important, peace of mind! What single mom doesn't want more peace of mind! Oh Dawn, you're awesome, funny, vibrant, beautiful and hands down the most important multi-tasking single mom in my life. :)

Wow I definitely need to try these. My son who has to take Lasix due to his heart condition is 6 and still sets the bed due to the meds. Unfortunately the goodnights end up giving him constant yeast infections....this may solve all our problems. I didn't even know they existed.

Would love to try these, my 7 year old is such a heavy sleeper she pees in her pull up every night. We just ordered her a alarm ( trying to avoid the prescription meds ) so these would be great to use with that.

Just had my little boy climb into bed with me last night whispering "Mommy, I wet the bed"...again. These would be awesome to try. For his sake of not having to feel embarrassed and or mine, so I can sleep!!! Although it never bothers me to get some extra snuggle time, so that I will miss. The laundry? Not so much.

This sounds great! My daughter, at almost 10, still wears Goodnights every single night, and fills them up, even though she's taking bedwetting medication. It's very frustrating for her when she overflows one of them. This would be a good solution for her - unless someone can figure out a way to make the problem go away altogether! (Wishful thinking, I know.)

What a fantastic product! Even if I don't win I think Goodnites will be getting my business from this product!

I'm about at my wits end with my daughter. She's not a toddler anymore - she's 14 years old - and still wets the bed. Her pediatrician says she'll grow out of it, we've been to a urologist to make sure nothing was wrong with her bladder etc., she's been in therapy, we limit the liquids in the evenings... And she still wets the bed. If any readers have any advice, or maybe have a child who also is an older wetter - I would greatly appreciate ANY advice...

I would love to try these for my 6 yr old son. My only problem is that he is a Mover! He ends up in all sorts of positions in his bed so I am not sure if he'd stay on top of the pad. We'll see...

For the other moms dealing with long-term bedwetting, my husband recently found this article and we think it might be the explanation to our son's problems. Perhaps it will be an eye-opener for you also. http://www.slate.com/articles/life/family/2012/03/bed_wetting_the_simple_cause_your_doctor_probably_missed_.html

I'm co-sleeping with my 3-year old who wets my bed regularly because her diapers don't hold everything. That mat might not save my nightgown, but boy would I be happy to save myself from washing mattress cover and sheets and all other bedding!

These sound fantastic. My 9 year old is just now starting to not wet every night, but still more often than not and even with a pull up, we end up with extra laundry to do. Not to mention, we have two more babies who will probably need something like this at some point in the next few years. These would save so much money on laundry (as we have to pay to do a load of laundry).

I finally don't need those, but if I did, I would probably have to use two or three in a night. My boys end up everywhere on the bed. I was one of the lucky few whose children actually night trained before they completed day training.

I have never heard of these mats. Thank you for sharing about them. Winning some would make my washer and dryer thank you a bunch! I might just have to go out help myself and buy some. Glad to know that I'm not the only one out there that has a child with bed wetting issues!

These would be wonderful for my house! I have 2 girls, 4 and 5. The 5 year old is doing better now, but still has an accident about once a week. My four year old has maybe 3 dry nights a week if we are lucky; she has a hard time staying hydrated so we cannot cut off drinking liquid before bedtime. Pull-ups get so expensive and for my 5 year old, I don't like using them because she is starting to do better and needs to be in panties. On dry nights I feel like we wasted them, but you just never know if it's going to be a wet night! These pads might be the answer to my prayers, I would love to try them!

Hi, I am 20 and I still struggle with bedwetting nearly every night. I practically grew up wearing goodnites. They helped me through a few sleepovers and they managed to keep up my self esteem. Around 14 I outgrew them unfortunately. This led to experimenting with a few different adult diapers. I found the pull up adult diapers didn't work and I was stuck using the "briefs". This has been really degrading and I wish it could just stop. The adult diapers have been really humiliating to wear. I have tried bed pads but they always inevitably crinkle through the night, and I still wet the bed. This product seems so awesome, it seems like a miracle. I love the fact of adhesive on the back, what a great idea! If i were to win it'd really be too good to be true. I am on really low income and a free package to try out this awesome product, would really be too good to be true. On the off chance I actually do win I can be emailed at ccxafi@aim.com Either way thank you for sharing about this product :)

This a reply for Erin T.My son wet the bed every night until he was 10. We found out that he is allergic to chemical dyes in food. He eats it any time of day and in any amount and he will wet the bed that night. He takes a special enzyme when we eat out but we eat dye free at home. Bedwetting is a very rare reaction to a food allergy. I hope this helps.

I have a 13 year old daughter who still wets the bed at night. It is so embarassing for her! She doesn't want to wear the adult diapers to bed, so instead she puts several towels on her bed so that if she has a nighttime accident it doesn't seep through to her mattress. This product would be the answer to our prayers for her! I saw on the Goodnites website that these are available at "select" stores and will be nationwide soon. PLEASE, make these Goodnites pads available nationwide soon. There are a lot of children who would benefit so much from this product.

My 5 yr could sleep through a nuclear attack, so you could understand my frustration that he wont wake up during the night to go to the bathroom. He wears the diaper "underwear" to bed, and still wakes up wet in the daily basis. We have even cut off his fluid intake and nothing helps :(
